Climate change set to melt a massive part of Earth’s “third pole”

Research has shown that the Earth’s poles are the most vulnerable to climate change and that the Arctic and Antarctic are experiencing faster rates of melting compared to anywhere else on the globe. But while many studies look to the North and South Pole as proof that anthropogenic emissions are driving glacial retreat, sea ice melt, and sea level rise, an often overlooked corner of the world could lose two-thirds of its glaciers by the end of the century, according to a new report.
